Simultaneous Removal of Multicomponent VOCs in Biofilters

Abstract

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are significant atmospheric pollutants that cause environmental and health risks. Waste gases polluted with multiple VOCs often need to be purified simultaneously in biofilters, which may lead to antagonistic, neutral, or synergistic effects on removal performance. Antagonism limits the application of biofilters to simultaneous treatment of multiple VOCs, while synergism has not yet been fully exploited. We review the interactions among multiple target pollutants and the changes in the bioavailability and biodegradability of substrates that are responsible for substrate interactions. Potential strategies for enhancing biofilter performance are then discussed. Finally, we propose further efforts to alleviate antagonism by enhancing bioavailability and biodegradability, and discuss possible challenges to take advantage of synergism.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
